7 months!


     "Oh Charlotte" pretty much sums up the last month! She is CONSTANTLY moving, although not quite crawling yet. She rolls from one end of the house to the other, and doesn't have much motivation to crawl when she can get what she wants just fine.  We have been going to a couple of story times a week and she loves to watch the other babies! We walk to the park down the street a couple times a week to swing and get some fresh air. Saying Charlotte is a talker is an understatement. She "talks" nonstop complete with whispering and yelling and everything in between. Solid food is still not going well, she clamps down those lips the second the spoon gets near her mouth. Hopefully this doesn't mean she'll be a picky eater! Oh well...
      Here are some pictures from the last month, enjoy!

Just hangin' around...







First trip to the zoo!
Lets just say the monthly photo shoots are only getting harder...now she can reach the sign! 


Then she figured out how to rock the chair....


creepy baby mirror


She can only stand for a few seconds at a time, but just long enough to get some Buddy love


a little audience to give her encouragement to crawl

love my cloth diapers!


just reading...she can even read upside down. 

Children's museum! 



Hanging out with her "mother goose" (story time) friend at the Children's museum

"There's a snake in my boot!"

6 months!


         Happy half birthday Charlie!! She was 13 pounds 4 ounces and 26 inches long at 5 months and 2 weeks old, and finally on the growth chart for weight! She is such a ham these days. She dances when you sing shoo fly don't bother me (or moo cow don't bother me, my own rendition haha). She has serious conversations full of squeals and bubbles, and will wait for a response and then begin talking again. She started to sit up by herself at 5 months and 3 weeks old! And she is trying so hard to crawl but usually ends up really frustrated, poor baby! Her favorite game is peek-a-boo and laughs hysterically! She still loves Sophie the giraffe, but also loves her crinkle books! She has started to gently scratch everything, including my side while she's eating....it takes all I have not to laugh! This past weekend she had a bunch of firsts! She tried a real food, Avocado! Not a fan...hilarious picture to follow. She went to the park for the first time and tried out the swings. She went swimming with mommy and daddy and LOVED every minute. The splash pad was too splashy, she's not a fan yet. She went to No Label brewery and "watched" (no screen time until she is 2) her first Purdue game! We gave her a play by play :). Well enough blabbing...here are some pictures from the last month, enjoy! 








Going to the neighborhood pool!









Playing in a bowl of water with her favorite toy...solo cup!
